I stopped smoking on my 60th day of my conscious healthy living journey. That was 18 days ago and I just realized it. There were days in the beginning that I felt like I was gonna have a fit.. but now --- I feel fine. It has gotten easier every single day. I just wanted to share to encourage someone out there who is contemplating whether they should stop smoking ...It can be done.. and you will thank yourself once you do it..
I just watched my video of my 60th day -- I remember so clearly having to convince myself in that video that I could do it.. wow.. feel free to check it out --

Well done, and congratulation on "coming of age" as a non-smoker.
All the ads I see say that as soon as you stop smoking your body starts to repair itself, so you've made a fantastic choice for a healthier life.
Keep up the good work!0 -

I smoked 2 packs a day. , bI could not even string 4 words together with out coughing my guts up.. Do I think about smoking? Yes, Would I ever start up again? NEVER. You can do it. I know, I know because I did. Good luck on your smoke free life.0

WAY TO GO!!! I quit in May of 2008 and yes, it only gets easier from here. You WILL have set backs where the cravings come back but once you get through those, it gets easier and easier and easier. Now, at almost 4 years for me, it does nothing but gross me out. :sick:

Well done all of you.
I'm an ex smoker, quit about 2 years ago now and haven't looked back. Very happy with it, don't miss smoking, don't care if people smoke around me or not.0 -
myself, the hubby and my dad who we care for, all quit smoking together on the 1st of APril. So much easier doing it all together and we are all feeling the benefits of extra pennies in the pocket! and we are hoping that with our kids been 3 and 5 they wont remember ever seeing us smoke and therefore be less likely to smoke themselves!0

I've just counted up and realised I gave up 30 years ago!! OH gave up after much struggle 6 months ago - so proud of him. It is NEVER easy so you can be justly proud of your achievements. Well done all!0

GREAT JOB!!!!!! You should brag, pat your self on the back, sing it to the hilltops! You should be so proud! I am coming up on 5 months after smoking ALOT for 25 years! It is HARD work to quit so make sure you tell your self how wonderful you are for making it every day! Congats!0

Congrats on being an official non-smoker!
I just realised reading these posts that I need to see my giving up smoking as a reward, not a punishment!
Thanks everyone... good luck on your journeys....0 -
Good job!!! It's been 15 months since I last lit one up, (to be honest I only did it coz I found out I was pregnant) I had mini goals, first not smoking first trimester, then being smoke free till the delivery. The little girl is now six months, and have yet to give in.
Is it hard?? Yes
Are there days I really really want a bensen and hedges super slim in my hand? Yes
But is it getting easier day by day? Yessssss
It's a struggle nearly every day. But everyday it becomes easier to convince myself to make one more day
Waaayyy to gooo0
